Mineral Exploration Permit for Dome Mine Ltd. - Borden Township Near Chapleau

Official title: Dome Mine Ltd. - Mineral exploration permit

Open Regulations & Permits Natural Resources
Dome Mine Ltd. wants permission to drill for minerals about 12 km northeast of Chapleau in northern Ontario. The drilling would test rock samples to find out what minerals are underground. This involves clearing small areas for drill rigs and pumping water from nearby sources.

Why This Matters

Live near Chapleau or Borden Township? This drilling could affect local water sources and forest areas. If you hunt, fish, or use the land recreationally, you might want to weigh in.

What Could Change

If approved, Dome Mine Ltd. could drill on three mineral claims for up to three years. They'd clear small areas for drill pads and may pump water from nearby lakes or streams. The permit could be renewed after that.
